Source for good log books?

[JDelage]

This is kinda silly, but the book I have is one of those cheapo books that are going to eventually get lost / damaged. I'd like to get a nice, good quality book which I can reasonably expect to last a long time. Any suggestion would be most welcome...

Go to any office supply store and pick up a lined record book. That's all I use and they last much longer than the more expensive log books you'll find in dive shops.

I went to Costco and bought a leather day planner. I purchased refill dive logs from my LDS, scanned them into my computer and just print them out as I need them. I got tired of buying several refill packs each year. Works for me.

Computer-based logs can be backed up, and are a lot harder to lose. Just sayin'.

(Just be sure to back them up. How do you back up your paper-based logs? What do you do if the airline loses your luggage?)

Logs go in the carry on. Are you nuts?!?

After going through several logs that I wasn't happy with (crappy NAUI paper log, oversized black binder), I finally broke down and got one of the compact logs from http://www.dive-logs.com/ . They're not the cheapest, but they are a lot smaller than the standard logs, and they are water resistant. I offset the price of the log by making my own pages. I haven't been able to find log pages that contain the kind of info I want, so I went to Staples and picked up a pack of nice paper, and after a few hours in Paint Shop Pro, I have the perfect pages that fit nicely in my new log.

Oh yeah, and no chance of the airline losing my log. It's always in my carry-on.

I used to scan my old SSI logbook pages and print them out, but now I just write and print my own to get the info I want on them.

Check out kidspot's page for one example of self made logook pages: http://www.kidspot.org/personal/scuba/logbook.html

For the logbook, something inexpensive from Walmart's or some other store's office supplies works fine for me.

Atmos Ai - a little more expensive than a standard log book, but well worth it.

I didnt like most of the logs I saw out there, so I made my own. Went to an office supply, and had the pages printed out and put a spiral bind on them. I took all the best information that I'd seen from other logs and combined it into what worked for me. Covers practically any diving I do, from rec to tech.

Now if only I'd use them more...

Why?
